CreateDraftItemRequest returns NotAuthorized even with Policy activated

Hello!

I was trying to create a draft item using Economy V2, with the following data using Unity C#:

 PlayFabEconomyAPI.CreateDraftItem(new CreateDraftItemRequest
 {
     Item = new CatalogItem
     {
         AlternateIds = new List&lt;CatalogAlternateId&gt; { new CatalogAlternateId { Type = "FriendlyId", Value = "FirstItem" } },
         CreatorEntity = new EntityKey { Id = PlayFabSettings.staticPlayer.EntityId, Type = PlayFabSettings.staticPlayer.EntityType },
         Type = "catalogItem",
         Title = new Dictionary&lt;string, string&gt; { { "NEUTRAL", "FirstItem" } },
         CreationDate = DateTime.UtcNow,
         StartDate = DateTime.UtcNow
     }
 }, CreateDraftItemOnSuccess, OnPlayFabCallbackError);

Even though I made sure to have the policy enabled for the Player, I still got the following issue.

 /Catalog/CreateDraftItem: Calling Entity does not have permissions to the Item Type.

What is the purpose of having a policy for the CreateDraftItem, if we actually have another layer of policy when trying to set the Type property?

Thank you in advance for your help on that!

The setting of enable CreateDraftItem for players in Game Manager is designed to allow players to create 'ugc' items, players do not have permission to create the items of type 'catalogItem'. To create the catalogItem type items using the API CreateDraftItem, you need a title level entity token, which can be obtained by https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/playfab/authentication/authentication/get-entity-token?view=playfab-rest .

It makes sense, switching that parameter to 'ugc' made it work. Thank you!
